The show, taped in front of a studio audience in New York, averaged 750,000 viewers. CNN explained the show’s abrupt ending by saying comedian Hughley wants to be closer to his family in California and will remain as a contributor for the cable news network based in Los Angeles.

Gospel Music Channel is furthering its original programming lineup by launching new series Revealed March 25 at 8p. Revealed will showcase up-close today’s gospel performers, either a single artist or a group through interviews and an intimate acoustic concert setting. Episode one will spotlight Third Day and their album Revelation while future episodes will feature Jars of Clay and Israel Houghton.

Action sports network, FUEL TV will open a third season of New Pollution March 29 at 830p. This new season, with thirteen episodes, will look at the next generation of action sports athletes who are 16 years and younger. Show host and professional surfer Matt Beacham spends time with the young athletes who excel at everything from snowboarding to skateboarding, to see what makes them tick. New episodes air Sunday nights at 830p and repeat several times during the week.

Sunday night’s third season premiere of E!’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians at 10p attracted 1.6 million total viewers and posted a 1.07 rating with A18-49 and a 2.06 rating with W18-34. Immediately following at 1030p, the new series debut of Candy Girls stayed sweet for the network by drawing in an average 1.1 million total viewers and delivering a .70 rating with A18-49 and a 1.54 rating among the core audience of W18-34.

Also on Sunday night, VH1’s season finale of Tool Academy at 10p averaged 1.8 million total viewers and delivered a 1.2 rating with A18-49 viewers.

Then Monday’s new series opener of Battles BC on History at 9p ushered in 656,000 A18-49 viewers, 719,000 A25-54 viewers and 1.5 million total viewers, making it the #1 Monday night series debut in the network’s history.

Pilot News:

• Rebecca Romijn, seen most recently on ABC’s Ugly Betty, will join the cast of Eastwick, the ABC drama pilot about three women who discover they have supernatural powers when a mystery man moves to town. Romijn will be part of the ensemble cast including Lindsay Price, Veronica Cartwright and Jaime Ray Newman. Eastwick, from Warner Bros. TV is based on the John Updike novel The Witches of Eastwick which also spawned a 1987 feature film.
• The CW tapped Matt Barr (One Tree Hill) for its Gossip Girl spinoff, per THR. Barr will play Keith van der Woodsen, a wealthy Malibu guy who becomes the lover of Lily Rhodes (Brittany Snow) and possibly her future husband. The spinoff, from Warner Bros. TV and Alloy, is set in 1980s Los Angeles and is about Lily’s wilder teen years.

Michael Hoff Productions, Inc. (HOFF PRODUCTIONS) received a renewal for its Investigation Discovery series Extreme Forensics. Michael Hoff Productions also announced it opened a new office in New York City to handle production for the series headed by television production veteran Jessica Winchell Morsa. 

CYNOPSIS DIGITAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY:  For years American Idol‘s producers participated in one of the most successful, if rudimentary,  mobile interactive applications in the U.S. as millions of AT&T subscribers paid extra fees to text in their votes. (FremantleMedia has also used the platform as a marketing tool this year to remind users of the return of the show, sending out mobile ads to some 2 million AT&T subs.)  Finally there’s something a little sexier – Seattle-based Zumboi has launched an officially-sanctioned $1.99 American Idol app for the iPhone. It features a variety of content and functionality including exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes clips, a “buzz” section with blogs, news feeds and other updates and a module providing bios and photos of show participants. But go figure – there’s no way to cast votes from the app.   Full edition: CYN DIGITAL.

CYNOPSIS KIDS – TODAY’S TOP STORY:  With the goal expanding its global business efforts, Marvel Entertainment has formed an International Advisory Board to help explore new opportunities overseas for Marvel and its key character brands, especially focusing on India and China initially.  The Advisory Board is chaired by James F. Halpin, a longtime Marvel director.  Simon Philips, President/Worldwide Consumer Products will serve as the primary company liaison to the Advisory Board.  Additionally, the Advisory Board is currently comprised of Peter Yip, Exec. Vice Chairman and CEO, CDC Corporation, and Bollywood film producer, Manmohan Shetty, former chairman, Adlabs Films Limited. Yip and Shetty represent China and India, respectively on the Board.  Marvel is in the process of filling two additional Advisory Board positions.  Full edition: CYN KIDS.
